Great Preparations Being Made to
Handle the Coming Cotton Crop.
BosToN, GA, July 25-Verily this town
is on ''boom" and does not intenCh to be
covered by the dust of ages. Great prepar-
alton is being made for handling the cotton
crop, which is estimated to be the heaviest
ever known in this section Boston has
already a splendid cotton warehouse built of
iron and also steam cotton gin and planning
mills. A large brick cotton warehouse viii
be finished in time to handle a share of this
Season's crop,
Another steam grist mill and gin will be
erected at an early dao.
The city fathers have about decided to
buy hand fire engine and organize fire
company. This will greatly reduce insur-
Ance.
One of Boston's most dignified dry goods
clerks, who sleeps in a two-story building was
rudely awakened few nights ago about / |
o'clock, by the noise of the cannon ball
train. As he was dreaming of storms when
the train rushed by he jumped from his
bed and yelled cyclone and went down the
staircase -four steps at a time. He had no
time to dress. His room mate says he was
the worst scared man he ever saw The
'boys" have named him Cannon Ball.
The City Council has notified the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western Railway Com
pany that they must desist from running
their trains through here at higher rate of
peed than five miles per hour.
About $500 crates of pears have been
shipped from here this season, principally to
Eastern points The returns are highly
satisfactory.
Thomas Dukes and Mr.. Watson were
strucl, by lightning during the recent hail
storm and severely shocked. They are
gradually recovering. They live in the Dry
Lake district

opium Den INVADED.
From the augusta (Gd.) Chronicle.
| All the Cinnamon in the city are in state
of excitement over robbery of Lee See of
1865. Woo Jam was arrested on suspicion
of being the principal and Charlie Lou
Chang as accessory for receiving the stolen
goods. Itappears from what can be CLEANED
that Lee See, who boards at the laundry on
Mcintosh street, had received 500 from
valiousquarters- in silver of WOO Jang
all of which Woo Jang knew was i'll Lee
Sees trunk. His key was taken from his
pocket, and the tray Of his trunk that had
the money in it taken out, and the key put
back III his pocket When yesterday morn
ing he woke and found all his treasures
gone he was sorely gr'ieved.
The movements of Loo Chang were such
as TO arouse suspicion, he going all day be-
tween Tom Loo Chang and Charlie Lou
Chang. A search warrant was issued and
officer RadfOrd repaired to Charlie Lou
Changes, where an amusing scene occurred
After the officer had made the search and
found $27l, and told Charlie he must go TO
jail, his mulatto wife pleaded not
to take Charlie TO Jail. but the
hard hearted officer insisted that
his duty had to be DONE and with the
Chinaman and his wife Ella, started to
share his fate. Charlie and the officer both
wanted to go to Tom Lou Changs, Charlie
to give his key and the officer to serve a
warrant on Tom The officer was followed
by Attorney NJ p. Foster, a Chronicle re
porter and one or two Others On reaching
Broad and Marbury streets the party
went up dark flight of steps
to the noted opium and gambling
den that the Chronicle so fully wrote
up about a year ago. The gambling table
and checks and opium beds were all in con-
fusion-checks strewn over the tables and
the cards under the table, and on the long
wooden beds the pipes and other utensils of
the opium smokers lay.
In one room was found several white
women, and with a Chinaman sat mulatto
woman indulging in the intoxicating opium
pipe. Whilst there number of young
white men, frequenters of the opium
den, dropped in. This place is leading
quite number of young men into this
intoxicating debauchery. The house
was searched, but the Cinnamon had been
on the alert and one was seen to jump the
fence and it is supposed got away with the
balance of the Doodle. Only a small amount
of the money was found in the search at
Tom Loo Chong's. Charlie Loo Chong
claims the 1921 to be the receipts Of his two
stores for Saturday. Officer Williams came
in on the scent, and catching a sight of the
gambling utensils, tables and other APP
paratus made a report against Tom Lou
Chang for keeping gambling house. The
opium and gambling den is run all the week.
On Sunday nights nearly all the Cinnamon
gather there to gamble The opium dens in
other large cities are prohibited by special
law, and unless our council passes the ordi-
nance to break them up many of OSr young
men will be ruined by this infatuating vice.

NO PARTNERS FOR ROYALTY.
How the Duchess of Connaught Util-
lied an Opportunity

From the London Merc1rq.
Talking of the Duchess of Connaught, they
say that short time before leaving India
her royal highness was present at a dance
where dancing men were provolkingly scarce
There were plenty of ladies waiting to dance
but very few men. The Duchess looked
upon the lamentable state of things with
very apparent dissatisfaction, as well as
sympathy for those without partners. Ii
everybody was to join in the fun, her
royal highness saw there was only
one way to accomplish it, so she rose
from her seat and set nm example to the
other ladies present Making straight for
Mrs. Lyttelton, she dropped a pretty little
curtsey, and requested the pleasure of the
next valse Mrs. Lyttelton, of course.
promptly accepted, and the next minute
the Duchess and she were whirling round
the ball room quite happily Needless to
say other partnerless ladies followed the
royal example, and soon everybody was
dancing. | never can understand how peo-
pie can dance in India, and am very much
in sympathy with that Eastern pOtentate
who, on his first introduction to an English
ball room, expressed the most unqualified
amazement at the insular eccentricity of
people who would undergo such fatigue
when they could pay others to do it for
them Certes, in the tropical heat of Lon
don last week, any exertion was trouble.
The combined effects of hard London water
and blazing sunshine nearly peeled every bit
of skin off my unhappy face, until relief
came, in the shape of lotion prescribed for
me by DR.. Anna Kingsford. | am quito
certain that my readers will give me credit
for desire to do them a kindness in mem
tioning this exquisite emulsine, compounded
chiefly Of the juice of cucumbers, and made
up by Mr.. Philip Mason, of Bank Plain,

Durable as clover is for mellowing and

roots will not penetrate the subsoil, and it is
